Product Integrator - Centeralised product informantion management

A central Product Information Management system (PIM), Buyogo Product Integrator is a single source of truth for product information for sellers across different sales channels.

Buyogo Product Information Management allows sellers to maintain a central product catalog which can be connected to multiple sales channels, thereby allowing sellers to manage their catalog for the different channels from a single source.

Creating products on Buyogo CMS

How to upload your product file

Step 1: Go to Product Integrator tab on Buyogo CMS

Step 2: Use any product file to upload and create products on Buyogo

This is possible once we have set up your product data file mapping in our system. If you face difficulties in uploading a file, reach out to our customer support team at support@buyogo.com.

Step 3: Upload the file on the “Upload New File” button on the screen

It is advised that you download the current version file of your product data from the CMS when you want to upload a file for making changes to the data. This helps you to ensure that the changes made are over the latest data. It is possible that the file in your local system is outdated as compared to the latest data and chances are, if you upload this file, previous changes get overwritten.

Manage your product data on multiple channels

Uploading product information on multiple channels can be a time-consuming and tedious work which might include working with different data sheets from multiple sources. With the Product Integrator you are required to maintain and upload only one Spreadsheet to store/update your product information on multiple channels.

Once created, you also have an option to browse through and update your product data from the CMS UI.

💡 Want to keep different product names on different sales channels? ❗️: Apple iPhone 13 on WooCommerce and iPhone 13 on Galaxus

With the Buyogo product integrator, you can have product information which varies between different sales channels. The following fields can be defined differentially between channels:

  • Product Name
  • Product Description
  • Product Short Description
  • Sale Price
  • Product Category

Other than the above mentioned fields, every sales channel asks for a different product information for publishing a product. Buyogo Product Integrator allows you to add these sales channel specific product information to meet the requirements set by the channels.

Default sales channel specific data

While you have an option of keeping a different name, price, description and category for every sales channel, it is not mandatory to have these details separately for every sales channel. In case you do not map all these channel specific details to any field in your upload file, we will assume that the values are same as the generic data defined at the product level.

Hence, if you upload only a generic selling price of the product and not for WooCommerce and Galaxus separately, we will send the same selling price for all sales channels. The same holds true for the product name, description and categories. However, it is advised that you keep the categories different for every sales channel, since the marketplaces follow their own category hierarchy, which is often different across marketplaces.

Daily use

Browse Your catalogue

Search with product name and SKU, or apply filters to easily browse through your product catalog.

In every product detail page, you can find generic product information at the top.

And at the end of the page, you can see the sales channel specific information.

Audit your product catalog changes

Buyogo Product integrator helps you audit your product catalog changes by sharing the revision history on CMS.

The upload file section allows you to take a quick look on which user made the changes in your product data and when were the changes made. Whenever there is an error in the file upload, refer the Upload Summary file for information regarding the error and how to fix them.

Edit your product details on Buyogo CMS

Easily edit product information like

  1. Sale Price
  2. EAN Code
  3. Add subcategory or update category heirarchy
  4. Brand name
  5. Tax %
  6. Attribute names and values
  7. Update product details per sales channel

from Buyogo CMS and the changes are reflected in the sales channels.

‼️ Every product page on the CMS has a section to store the sales channel specific details. To change one or more such fields, make sure you update it from this section.

EX To update the selling price on WooCommerce, scroll down on the product page, select WooCommerce from the sales channels and edit the Sale Price here. Updating the Sale Price of the product in the Price Details section will not change the WooCommerce selling price.

If you frequently make changes from the UI, want to update the product data using a file upload, it is recommended that you download the current version of the product data from the CMS as an excel file and make any required changes in that file, before uploading it back. This is to ensure that any changes which were made directly from the UI do not get overwritten.

Preparing data

The following are the mandatory fields for creating a product on Buyogo:

  • SKU
  • Product Name
  • Product Brand name
  • [Sales Channel] - Is Published

There will be one such field for every sales channel. If you want to publish some product on a sales channel, say Galaxus, it is mandatory to assign either a Yes or No in ```Galaxus - Is Published``` field. This cannot be left blank.

  • Regular price The regular price is used as the selling price on all the sales channels by default if you do not provide the sales channel specific selling price while creating a product.

The below fields, although not mandatory, need to be defined in certain cases:

  • Product VAT % Must be provided in the file to create the tax classes on sales channels like WooCommerce, Shopify
  • [Sales Channel] - Is Published Mandatory for a product to be created on a sales channel, only Yes and No accepted as values. If this field is added to the upload file mapping, make sure all the SKUs have Yes/No as inputs.
  • Product Category The product category hierarchy needs to be added in the file with > as a separator between a category and a sub category Example: Parent category > Subcategory > Subcategory1 > Subcategory 2 > .....
  • Other image URLs The other image urls for a product contain all the images other than the main image of the product. Since these are multiple urls, please use | as a separator Example: image_url1.jpg | image_url2.jpg | image_url3.jpg
